Don't make it more complicated than it needs be. You can usually find bait between the resesrve bouy and where the kelp line bends to the south. Green macs are preferred for the reasons other have mentioned. Spanish work too and i find they live better in the tank. I've caught yt, Cali's, n halibut on smelt when that's all I had. "Spots" are more critical in the winter when yt are more deeper water structure oriented. We're coming in to our fun season. Look for working birds, obviously, but birds just staying in an area or even 1 tern flying slowly, hovering, and looking is good too. Or find bait and hang out near it with a fly line out. Have the surface iron rod lock n loaded and handy. Lastly in the general advice column; stay away from the big party boats. You don't need them to show you where the fish are and they do us a huge favor by pulling ever dog around right to their sterns. Mike

Keep quiet? Lol. Cause nobody knows that their are Seabass in LJ. That's good though. Hoping to get my first Seabass this year as long as I can start making some time to fish.
